I sometimes find it really tough to search these forums succesfully.
Case in point, i just read something that would be relevant to a post I saw yesterday or this morning. I cannot for the life of me dream up search terms that locate that post.
It was a 20 year old who just learnt the game, and wanted to know how good he could become. How do I find this? (the link would be good, but an explanation would be really helpful, this isn't my 1st fumble)
